Perhaps more importantly, websites can determine which fonts are installed on your system (regardless of which you’re enforcing), making fingerprinting much easier.
RFP probably ensures you give out a predetermined set of fonts as installed.
Literally why is this necessary on a technical level. I’m a web developer, whenever I need my JavaScript to access a resource I have to spell out where to find it. I’ve never had a need to scan the browser or the system to make shit happen so why should I be able to in the first place.
